Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres-

The   next  requisite   in   order,   after   adopting   the   American 
Lubricator,  is  the  use- of  first-class  oil,  the  amount    necessary  to 
lubricate  the  interior  of  an  engine  is  so  small   that   it   vrould   be 
the  veriest  folly  to  continue  the  use  of  an    inferior   article.     The 
requirements  of  oil  suitable  for  steam  lubrication  are  as    follows; 
freedom  from  volatile  substances,  gummy  matter,   tar,    grit    and 
coloring  matter,  oil  should    be   capable    of    resistin-    oxidation 
at  the  temperature  at  which  it  is  to  be  used.     The  sceam  pressure 
itself  is  sufficient  to  flatten  and  distribute  the  globules   to  insure 
perfect  lubrication,  and  in  good  oil  there  is  no  substance  that  will 
precipitate  itself  onto  the  metallic  surfaces  and  increase  the  fric- 
tion.  There  is  so  much  tar  and  gummy  matter  in  black  or  crude 
oil  as  to  render  it  unfit  for  so  fine  a  purpose  as  the  lubrication  of 
steam.     No  man  should  transform  his  engine  into  an  oil  refinery. 
There  is  so  much  benzine  in  black  oil  that  on  coming  in  contact 
with  the  steam  it  will  evaporate  and  act   like   an   alkali   on   the 
fatty  portion  and  destroy  the  value  of  it,  while  the  tar  and  parra- 
fine  and  grit  will  take  the   goodness  all  out  of  an  engine  if  used 
any  length  of  dme.     Animal  oils  if  not   combined   with    refined 
mineral'oil  will  surely  make  hens   nests  out  of  the  receses  in  the 
steam  ports,  cylinder  bottoms  and  pistons   and  it  will   also   make 
the  surface  porous  by  its  corroding  nature. 

Oil  should  have  a  good  body  and  feel  very  greasy  between  the 
fingers  and  have  a  clear  color,  this  of  itself  is  an  indication  that 
it  is  filtered.  We  have  been  informed  by  oil  dealers  that  'here 
is  more  profit  on  oil  costing  40  cents  per  gallon  than  on  oil  cost- 
ing  $1,50. 

We  know  by  our  experiments  in  many  places  and  on  our  own 
engine  that  a  first  class  cylinder  oil  has  over  four  times  the 
lubricating  capacity  than  any  common  or  crude  oil  obtainable. 

The  commonest  oil  in  the  world  can  be  used  in  our   Lubrictor, 
but  it  will  be  apparant  to  any  one,  that  when  the  consumation  of 
oil  is  reduced  to  nearly  nothing,   the   adoption  of   the   best   oil 
should  not  be  avoided.

WHAT  WB  CLAIM. 


The  American  feeds  oil  into  the  steam  pipe  of  engine, 
at  a  point  above  throttle  valve,  f/ius  infusing  the  steam 
with  foam  of  oil,  and  as  the  lubricated  steam  passes 
through  the  throttle,  governor,  steam  chest  and  cylinder, 
it  lubricates  all  those  parts.  Every  drop  of  oil  is  visible  as 
it  passes  into  the  steam  pipe. 

It  imparts  a  regular  motion   to   engines  because   it 
lubricates  the  governor  valve. 

It  makes  the  throttle  very  easy  to  turn,  keeps  it  from 
rusting  and  cutting,  and  saves  packing  and  grinding  it. 
It  relieves  the  friction  of  the  valve  or   valves,   and 
lubricates  the  packing  around  the  stem. 

It  saves  piston  packing,  and  piston*rod  packing,  and 
lubricates  the  cylinder. 

It  will  pay  for  itself  in  fuel  every  two  months,  in  oil 
every  seven  to  ten  months,  in  wear,  packing  and  labor 
e\  ery  four  months. 

Tne  American  Lubricator  is  patented  in  the  United 
States,  Canada,  Great  Britain,  and  new  patents  are 
pending  in  the  United  States,  Germany  and  other 
foreign  countries. 

Our  Lubricator  is  appliable  to   every   description  ofl 

engines  and  steam  pumps. 

-We  are  prepared  to  niafee  liberal  ar- 
rangements witli  parties  interested  in 
our  line,  in  any  part  of  tlie  world.

With  the  American  Lubricator  you  can  regulate  the 
consumption  of  oil  to  the  exact  quantity  required  for 
relief  of  friction  to  the  valves,  valve  stems,  piston  and 
rod,  also  the  packingn,  and  necessarily  reduce  the  wear 
of  said   parts.     Poppet    valves  cushion  with  ease  on 
oiled  seats ;  the  actual  horse-power   is   increased,  and 
the      consumption      of     fuel     accordingly    lessened, 
hence  the  value  of  positive  and  even  lubrication.     All 
automatic  engines  are  regulated  in  speed  by  the  earlier 
or  later  cut-off  of  steam  to  the   cylinder,    said   cut-off 
being  effected  by  a  special  valve  gear,  operated  by  the 
motion  of  the  governor  balls.     This  valve  gear  should 
move  almost  without  friction,  as  the   balls   of  the  gov- 
ernor or  regulator  have  no  power,  and  are  simply  sus- 
pended on  any  plane  by  the  velocity  of  their  rotation. 
And,  as  it  is  only  the  rise  and  fall  of  said  balls  that  im- 
part the  motion  to  the  valves  to  cause  them  to  cut  off 
the  steam  at  the  proper  point,  it  is  obvious  that   said 
valves  should  be  properly  lubricated  to  insure  regularity 
of  speed. 

The  American  is  very  easily  applied,  and  neat,  clean 
and  durable,  requires  no  w^atching,  will  save  from  50  to 
90  per  cent,  of  the  oil  required  by  any  other  method ; 
its  visible  feed  and  absolute  regularity  enables  the  en- 
gineer to  reduce  it  to  the  finest  feed  movement  without 
any  danger  of  clogging ;  in  some  instances  engineers 
are  using  but  one  drop  of  oil  in  two  minutes.  We  have 
frequently  been  informed  by  engineers  that  they  have 
run  the  American  as  fine  as  one  drop  in  five  minutes, 
to  test  its  sensitiveness. 

We  make  Brass  Castings  of  every 

description  to  order.  Prices 

reasonable.

'^"^  BEWARE 

OF  INFRINGEMENTS. 


Our  attention  has  frequently  been  directed  to  the 
fact  that  several  parties  are  infringing  our  first  United 
States  patent  by  using  the  elevated  water  reservoir, 
suspended  oil  cup  and  inverted  syphon  tube,  and  a 
number  of  other  details.     No  Lubricator  can   use 

OUR  PRINCIPLE  OF  FEEDING  OIL,  WITHOUT  INFRINGING 

OUR  PATENT  OF  1876.  We  are  determined  to  have 
the  redress  which  properly  belongs  to  us,  and  for  that 
reason  we  are  issuing  100,000  copies  of  this  circular 
for  distribution  in  the  United  States  alone.  We  have 
found  by  experience  that  as  soon  as  we  have  broken 
up  one  hive  of  infringers,  another  would  spring  up  in 
some  other  part  of  the  country. 

We  ask  the  public  to   be   guarded   against  adopting 
any  Lubricator  containing  any  of  our  patented  parts. 
Respectfully, 

American  Lubricator  Co., 

Detroit  Mich.,  United  States,  America.
